Why do people say the My Little Pony Movie is bad? It's pretty good in comparison to S8 and S9.

I guess unlike shit like s9 or EQG, I'd rather this movie exists than not. It's still pretty crap though.

the film has to balance advertising a new toyline, expanding the world, being a road trip, two new villains, re-explaining everything for normies who haven't seen the show, it's too much for too little runtime. they should have focused on something but they didn't.

tempest is the star of the show, but she has way too little screen time and her backstory and redemption is so half-baked and rushed it falls completely flat.

I agree with most of points besides Tempest.
She sucked, I won't be gaslighted into think that losing your friends justifies being tempted into supporting a slaver tyrant.
It is just as stupid of a backstory as Starlight had of starting an authoritarian cult because of her friend moving to another city.
>>
>>43208859
Because it's shit. Half the mane six don't actually do anything and have no role in the film, everyone acts out of character, obligatory pop culture references and comic relief ruining any tension, anything actually interesting got cut from the script by corporate, princesses job to some retard kicking magic balls, no royal guard, Pinkie being a spastic retard that ruins everything the entire movie yet everyone takes her side the second she gets any flak whatsoever for it. It's shit. It's all shit.

Deciding it's actually quite bad after having seen it more than once or twice in 9 years doesn't make a negative opinion on it "artificial and inorganic", schizo-chan.

The idea of her is great, design is great, voicework is amazing. Her on-screen presence is perfect.

I did say her backstory and redemption were way too half baked. That's the problem with her. But what can you do when all you have is a 20 second flashback in the middle of her villain song? So she should have had more screen time, maybe cut some of the other bullshit to do it.
>>
>>43210808
I rewarch the entire show, all movies, mist of the generations previous, all specials, Pony Life, G5, EQG, and most of the online shorts, every year for the anni. I've done this repeatedly since 2014.
I can solidly say that for 99% of content released for mlp, it can be labeled as 'okay'

People let their hype die, other opinions influence them, and become jaded. Then they spend their time spreading that jaded feeling because they dont want to be alone in it. Which is cringe.
But some people just enjoy thjngs for what they are and enjoy the times they have. They know the work that goes into all this content and even if they dont love it all, they appreciate its existance. And thats based.

Her presence on screen was forgettable. Being more of a "I'm gonna do something really bad now, and this time is for real" but said event never happens, I may like a bit more if they haven't bothered with the backstory at all. Instead of wasting time with another song that's basically "Psycho justifies their shitty behavior by playing the victim card", they could've done something different, maybe she represents an abstract concept, or maybe we never truly learn what's her problem.
I actually prefer the Storm King, he might a moron but he actually has some personality, I wish HE has been redeemed instead.

I still remember hearing the announcement around September of 2014 and being excited for it yet annoyed about having to wait three years for it.
In 2015, I "left" the ride (sort to speak) because of a sense of aimlessness with the main show. Sure, I was curious about the 100th episode as well but it also felt that things wouldn't be the same after Twilicorn and Season 4.
I finally watched it in 2022 and... it was disappointing.
The story had various inconsistencies, the characters acted very stupid at times, the humor was bland, the visuals were too Disney-esque for my taste and it was overall an unpleasant experience.
It was still better than season 6 and beyond, but you can clearly tell the nu-staff had quite the hands on the project at times.
Pony Life and the first G5 movie are more entertaining than this movie and I'm not kidding, and I don't think either of those are good but they were at least better at holding my attention than this movie.

I saw someone in a thread a few days ago say that when mccarthy and thiessen left to do the movie, the show quality came back up and as soon as they were back from the movie it nosedived again

timeline seems to match up

I'm not the type of person who praises anything pony just because it's pony. It wasn't the ponies that got me hooked, it was people like Larson, Faust, Morrow and other who got me.
Those people are the reason why something like DC Superhero Girls (2019) beats the crap out of Equestria Girls at being a humanized MLP, regardless if that was the intention.
>>
>>43211323
>when mccarthy and thiessen left to do the movie, the show quality came back up
The show went to crap in season 6 when McCarthy and Thiessen left to do the movie and Haber was assigned as story editor.

>as soon as they were back from the movie it nosedived again
It took a nosedive because Haber got promoted to produced while still retaining an active role as a writer.

People like McCarthy and Thiessen were the reason why MLP was good, they left to do the movie and everything went wrong because they left a bunch of unexperienced manchilds to do the work.

Silly anon, don't you know all the ponies consider the uglier people to be villains? That's why the changelings stop being black when they're the good guys!

And I'm not either. But tempest is objectively badass and she could have been a top tier villain if given more development and a less lame backstory. Out of all the bullshit in the movie she stands out as something special.

I love the little running gag where she does NOT like to be touched.

The FIM movie was flawed but its was fun to watch the climax of the movie is the best part in my opinion I liked the characters it's a shame the had little screen time I mean just look at this hot birb pirate for some reason some fans thought she was a griffon for some reason . And season 8 and 9 is also good at least better than G% standards

the series are bad, but the movie is mostly there. The writing is quite flawed and the art style is generic, but I can at least watch it without wanting to take my eyes out.
